==Tevilat Kelim on Aluminum== | |||
# The Gemara (Avoda Zara 75b) learns from the pesukim by the war with Midyan that when one buys utensils from a non-Jew one must immerse them in a mikveh before using them. Metal utensils are obligated in [[Tevilat Kelim]].<ref> S"A YD 120:1</ref> Though aluminum is scientifically a metal, there is a discussion in the poskim whether aluminum is considered a metal according to the Torah.<ref>See Rav Yacov Kamenetsky in Emet LeYacov (YD 120:1). He concludes that you should dip without a beracha.</ref> In any event, our minhag is to be strict in this regard.<ref>Rav Hershel Schachter in a shiur on yutorah.org “Hilchos Tevilas Keilim”, Iggerot Moshe YD 3:22</ref> | |||
# Regarding aluminum tins, which are commonly only used once and then disposed of, there is a new point of discussion. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Igrot Moshe YD 3:23) proves from the rishonim that utensils which don’t last for an extended period of time, such as a vessel made from a pumpkin, don’t accept tumah. He assumes that since temporary vessels don’t qualify as a vessel for tumah, it must not also with regards to tevilat kelim. Seemingly, this applies to aluminum pans.<ref>An article on [http://oukosher.org/passover/articles/immersing-ourselves-in-tevilat-keilim/ ou.org] writes that aluminum pans are exempt according to Rav Moshe. Mishneh Halachot 7:111 fundamentally agrees with Rav Moshe but writes that aluminum pans are obligated since it could be reused many times.</ref> Nonetheless, he adds, that vessels which could last a long time but are disposed of because they are cheap would certainly be obligated in tevilat kelim, even for a single use. Some, however, argue that even such vessels don’t qualify as a vessel.<ref>Chelkat Yacov YD 46, OC 152:2, Minchat Yitzchak 5:32</ref> | |||
